The overture to The Fantasticks is unrelated to any of the songs in the show. A few times the overture's theme is used as transition/incidental music in the course of the show, but it's never sung or developed further.

The Candide overture does use some vocal themes from the show along the way, notably the fanfare-ish theme in "The Best Of All Possible Worlds" and of course "Glitter And Be Gay."

Even more notably, the duet "Oh, Happy We", which takes up the entire 2nd theme area of exposition and recap of a sonata form.
